From the moment I first met Dr. Tim Byon in Urgent Care Middletown, I knew I wanted him to be my Primary Care doctor. He instantly diagnosed my serious allergy to a drug prescribed by an oral surgeon. Combined with his obvious medical expertise, his calm and welcoming demeanor inspires confidence and trust.I'm so happy and relieved he's my doctor, and that I'm being treated by Southcoast.

Verified Patient

What is sometimes frustrating is how long you have to wait for someone to answer the phone when I call. One other item that isn't really related to the visit, but I want to bring to your attention. I like in RI, yet all my email updates about Covid from Southcoast is always relevant to Mass. I have yet to receive any info about how/what Southcoast if at all is doing in RI

Would be nice if needed lab tests could have been done on same day, or better to have done before so they could be discussed at annual physical. Having to wait 1 week for lab appointment and go into dr office again not ideal.

After being away from Dr's care for some time I realized over this past weekend that I needed help managing my Blood Pressure. Southcoast Health scheduled me an appointment right away. I am so pleased that they took care of my needs immediately.

Tim Byon, whom I met for the first time, was outstanding. He took the time to answer my questions, evaluate my concerns and made good suggestions. He was not in any hurry to get out of the exam room and probably would have stayed for as long as I had questions.Tim is a great addition to the [Name] [Name] staff[Name] [Name] [Name]

I saw Dr Byon vs my PCP Dr [Name]. Seen him before. He's really good. Been seeing Dr [Name] for many years and she's great. Hence answers to some questions being lowered a point. Visit was good today. Didn't have to wait overly long. No real suggestions for further improvements I can think of.

I arrived 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork. This was an associate filling in for my doctor who was on sabbatical. I waited another 20 minutes. My appointment took 20 minutes, this included the nurse taking notes and the doctor evaluation. The place was empty. When I asked about the wait I was told he was running late. I ended up walking out with the office shutting down and locking up, I had a 3:20 appointment, came in at 3:05. Left at 4:30.

Verified Patient

A telemedicine call was just not appropriate for my problem—I should have waited until someone could see me. The doctor seemed to agree that he could not be of much help or have any answers.

Covid restrictions are inconvenient, but the Doctor is great and I prefer him to many others I have seen! He listens and is not inclined to over medicate or refer when unnecessary

It was very hard to communicate with a new doctor, but he was absolutely fabulous. I'm wondering if he's going to be calling to follow up on me now that I have received a positive To covid and I'm not sure what to do.

Verified Patient

Dr Timothy Byon was very professional, engaged, efficient, knowledgeable, evn for my first visit with him. Receptionist at front door was courteous and helpful. Person behind the desk was not so friendly or courteous. After my physical exam I asked where the lab was located and was told I was done. Go. Leave. The front door receptionist was helpful again pointing me to the lab. The lab technician was professional and all business, but managed to provide the only painful needle extraction I've ever experienced.

The wait times are 30 mins or longer to speak with a call center representative. This is unacceptable way of providing health care to individuals. The doctors give good care but it's impossible to get messages to them so they can access patients. Impossible for seniors especially. If I had an option I would switch from south coast network. Truly disappointing the state of the system in 2020.

I understand the COVID rules, but they are extremely inconvenient. Dr. Byon is great and listens to me and respects our family values and I am glad I found him!

Dr. Byon is the best primary care provider I've seen in years. I immediately trusted him. He listened well, treated me with respect and went above and beyond to provide excellent care.

It was so convenient and the doctor I talked to (I just remember his first name was Timothy) was super helpful and put my mind at ease that my leg pain was not an emergency. I would actually always prefer dr appts like this even during normal times, it was so much more convenient for someone who is very busy working.

The provider did not have a knowledge of my prior medical history before speaking with me, which I think would have been important.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings. Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office. The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
